Restaurant in Milan, Italy
Tasting menus with a garden view, priced fairly.
Innocenti Evasioni holds a 2025 Michelin Plate and delivers modern Italian cooking at the €€€ tier with more flexibility than most: three tasting menus, à la carte options, and a garden-facing dining room that works for dates, business meals, and celebrations alike. For serious cooking in Milan without the cost or rigidity of a starred address, this is the booking to make.
Innocenti Evasioni earns its 2025 Michelin Plate and then some. At the €€€ price point, this is one of the most structurally sound arguments for modern Italian dining in Milan: a spacious dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a Mediterranean garden, three tasting menus built with enough flexibility to also order à la carte, and a format that delivers serious cooking without the ceremony or cost of the city's Michelin-starred elite. If you want to eat well in Milan without committing to a €€€€ tasting marathon, book here.
The visual case for Innocenti Evasioni starts before the first course arrives. The dining room is generously proportioned, with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame a large Mediterranean garden, giving the space a brightness and openness that most Milan fine-dining rooms actively avoid. The outdoor area carries a Zen-influenced aesthetic inherited from Chef Tommaso Arrigoni's previous venue, and it works as a genuine extension of the dining experience rather than an afterthought patio. For a special occasion dinner, the setting does real work: it reads celebratory without being stiff, which is harder to pull off than it sounds at this tier. Couples, business dinners, and small groups marking something meaningful will all find the room fits the occasion.
Arrigoni's cooking is described by Michelin as "colourful," which in context means visually composed plates built on clean technique rather than theatrical excess. Three tasting menus anchor the offer, but the kitchen allows dishes to be pulled from those menus and ordered à la carte — a practical concession that matters when one person at the table wants to explore and another wants to eat on their own terms. The standout structural feature is the "Delle Mezze" menu, which gives guests access to smaller portions of multiple dishes across the menu. For a table that wants range without over-eating, this is the format to request. It also makes Innocenti Evasioni a stronger choice for exploratory diners than a fixed-progression tasting menu at a comparable price point elsewhere in the city.
The €€€ price range positions Innocenti Evasioni clearly below Milan's Michelin-starred circuit — venues like Cracco in Galleria or Acanto , but the Michelin Plate recognition signals that the kitchen is operating above the noise of mid-range Italian dining. That gap is where Innocenti Evasioni's value proposition lives. You are paying less than you would at a starred address, receiving more structural ambition than most €€€ restaurants in the city, and getting a room that holds up visually for any occasion that deserves a good setting. For Milan specifically, where the €€€€ tier is crowded and competitive, this is a meaningful alternative rather than a consolation prize.
Innocenti Evasioni is the right call for diners who want the experience shape of a special-occasion restaurant , strong room, considered menu, tasting format , without the full financial and logistical weight of a starred booking. It suits couples on a date where the evening needs to feel considered, business meals where the setting should communicate effort without ostentation, and visitors to Milan who want to eat at a credibly high level once without building the entire trip around a single reservation. It is less suited to diners whose primary goal is maximum technical ambition or who are specifically chasing starred recognition as part of the experience.
Innocenti Evasioni is located at Viale Emilio Alemagna 6, 20121 Milan, in the area bordering Parco Sempione. The price range is €€€. The venue holds a Michelin Plate for 2025. Booking is rated Easy, meaning you are unlikely to need weeks of lead time, though weekend evenings and holiday periods in Milan will compress availability. Current hours, phone, and online booking details are not confirmed in our data , check directly with the venue or via a reservation platform before planning your visit.

Milan's modern Italian dining scene runs deep. For visitors who want to extend their Italy trip beyond the city, the range of serious kitchens is substantial: Osteria Francescana in Modena, Dal Pescatore in Runate, Uliassi in Senigallia, and Reale in Castel di Sangro each represent different expressions of Italian fine dining at the highest tier. For those travelling north into the Alps, Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler in Brunico is worth the detour. And for international comparisons in the modern cuisine category, Frantzén in Stockholm and Maison Lameloise in Chagny set useful reference points for what this style of cooking can achieve at the leading of the market.
Within Milan itself, 28 Posti and Altriménti offer alternatives at different price and style points, while Don Carlos serves a different occasion profile altogether. For drinks before or after, our full Milan bars guide has options worth building around a dinner here. And if the Parco Sempione area is new to you, our Milan experiences guide and Milan wineries guide round out the picture for a full visit.
Yes, particularly because the format is more flexible than most. The kitchen allows à la carte selection from tasting menu dishes, and the "Delle Mezze" option lets you sample smaller portions across multiple plates. At the €€€ price point with a 2025 Michelin Plate, this is better value than comparable tasting formats in the city's €€€€ tier. If you want creative Italian cooking in a strong room without a three-hour commitment, the tasting menu here is worth the order.
Booking is rated Easy, so you are not facing the multi-week lead times of Milan's starred venues. That said, the Michelin Plate recognition means the restaurant has a consistent audience, and weekend evenings will fill faster than weekday slots. Aim for at least a week ahead for a Friday or Saturday, and you should be fine with shorter notice mid-week. Specific booking channels are not confirmed in our data , contact the restaurant directly or use a Milan reservation platform.
The menu structure , with three tasting menus and à la carte flexibility , suggests a kitchen that can adapt. Multi-course modern Italian restaurants at this tier typically accommodate common dietary requirements when notified in advance. Confirm your specific needs directly with the restaurant when booking; specific dietary policy is not in our venue data.
Bar seating details are not confirmed in our data. The restaurant is a full-service dining room rather than a bar-forward venue, so walk-in bar dining is less likely to be a formal option here than at a casual neighbourhood spot. If you want flexibility on format, call ahead to ask about counter or bar availability before arriving without a reservation.
If you want to spend more and push into starred territory, Cracco in Galleria and Acanto are the natural next step up. For a different style at a similar price register, 28 Posti delivers strong neighbourhood cooking with a different room energy. Quattro Passi in Marina del Cantone is worth knowing if your Italy itinerary extends south.

| Innocenti Evasioni | Modern Cuisine | Michelin Plate (2025); Chef Tommaso Arrigoni’s restaurant has a wonderful new location, where floor-to-ceiling windows in the spacious modern dining room overlook a large Mediterranean garden that is just as appealing as the Zen-inspired outdoor space at his previous venue.

The interesting “Delle Mezze” menu allows guests to sample several small portions of different dishes. | Easy | — |

What to weigh when choosing between Innocenti Evasioni and alternatives.
The à la carte option built into the tasting menu format gives the kitchen flexibility to accommodate dietary restrictions without locking you into a fixed sequence. The 'Delle Mezze' menu — which lets you sample several small portions across different dishes — provides additional room to navigate specific needs. check the venue's official channels when booking to confirm what the kitchen can adjust.
Book at least two to three weeks out for a standard midweek dinner, and further ahead for weekend dates or larger parties. The new location at Viale Emilio Alemagna 6 — with its floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a Mediterranean garden — has raised the venue's profile, which has tightened availability since the 2025 Michelin Plate recognition. Don't leave it to the week of.
Yes, at the €€€ price point it is — particularly because Innocenti Evasioni lets you order à la carte from the tasting menu structure, so you're not committed to the full sequence. The 2025 Michelin Plate confirms the cooking meets a documented standard. If you want full tasting-menu formality with wine pairings and multiple courses, this sits comfortably below Milan's starred circuit in price while delivering comparable structure.
Bar seating is not confirmed in the venue record. The dining room is described as spacious with a modern layout, and the 'Delle Mezze' menu — designed around several small shared portions — is the most casual-format option available. If a shorter, lighter visit is the goal, that menu is the practical route to take rather than waiting for bar availability.
At a similar €€€ tier with serious kitchens, Horto offers a plant-forward tasting menu that suits a different dietary lean. If you want to step up to starred territory, Andrea Aprea and Seta both sit above Innocenti Evasioni in accolades and price. Cracco in Galleria is the high-visibility option for those who prioritise room and name recognition over value-for-money ratio. For the combination of Michelin recognition, garden setting, and flexible menu format, Innocenti Evasioni is the stronger practical choice at its price point.
